“Ukrainian Women in Wartime”The Ukrainian Institute of America is honored to present a special evening with Oleksandra Matviichuk, human rights defender and Head of the Center for Civil Liberties in Ukraine (Nobel Peace Prize 2022), in conversation with Oksana Mattiash, CEO of Teach for Ukraine and the first Obama Scholar from Ukraine. The program will be followed by a light reception.This event is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is requested. Donations are appreciated. In wartime, women are called upon to maintain the fabric of their families and their communities in the face of extremely disruptive circumstances. The current war in Ukraine is no different. It has led to massive changes in the day-to-day life in cities and towns across the country. Ukrainian women have stepped up to the challenges and are supporting their families and serving their country in a variety of ways, from the frontlines to the dinner table. Not only are women taking on roles with responsibility in military institutions, but they are increasing their participation in humanitarian spaces, civil society and governance. During this Women's History Month, our guests will discuss how the war is impacting traditional gender roles in military, civil society and government institutions, and how it might impact the future of Ukraine.
